June 5: Back to Work

Adios until next time!

June 1-3: Wisconsin

Spent the weekend in WI visiting the relatives.

May 29 - 31: Drive to Seattle

Took the scenic backroads from Vegas and camped at some great spots. Saw a little of the great salt flat desert. Was actually excited to be back in Seattle, then I hit traffic.

May 25 - 28: Las Vegas

Celebrated Dad's 59th birthday in Vegas! Margaritaville was right in our hotel!

May 17 - 24: San Diego

Back in the USA! Hard not to say 'gracias' and 'hola' anymore and go back to throwing toilet paper in the toilet. Sad to say, but I quickly went right back to the glutonous, lazy American lifestyle. TiVo is dangerous!

May 14 - 16: El Salvador

Very hot and humid. Not lots of turists so I really wanted to like the place, but it was kinda of expensive to be sharing a non-airconidtioned room with cockroaches on a not-so-great beach. Plus the beginning surf wasnt any good. Decided to head back to the States a few days early.

May 11-13: Huaraz

Just chill for a few days and soak up my surroundings since I know this is all coming to an end soon.

May 6-10: Santa Cruz and Lake 69

Hiked 4 days with the group and even got fried chicken for dinner. The bus dropped me off on the way back to Huaraz so I could spend another day in the mountains by myself.

May 4 - 5: Huaraz and Pastorouri

Wandered around this small town in the middle of the one of supposedly greatest alpine-mountain trekking areas. Took a day trip to Pastorouri with a mainly Peruvian crowd and had some gallina soup.

May 3: Arequipa
